More Deceptive Descriptions (Listing Fails)

Here we go again with the "mind blowing" (these New Yorkers sure are obsessed with getting their minds blown). While the view from the roof of this "Marvelous Cute" New York City pad is decent -- not exactly a premium skyline view, but we'll take it -- that railing is just hideous. Mind blowing? More like mind-boggling.

We would probably be way less cynical of this "mind numbing" closet space if there were, you know, pictures of it. Instead, all this New York City Craigslist listing offers are pictures of a mind-numbingly boring, vanilla apartment.

Ok, so we use "sprawling" as much as the next person, but we're not exaggerating when we use the term -- usually when describing 50,000-square-foot mansions. One-bedroom New York City apartments, however, cannot possibly ever be "sprawling."

We don't love it as much as "mind numbing," but this description is just as ridiculous. Particularly when applied to this tiny apartment with very unremarkable windows. We can't speak for the rest of the apartment, but that little corner seems thoroughly "sun blasted." We guess.
